Equity of Access
The Evanston Public Library endorses and embraces the American Library Association’s Equity of Access Statement:
Equity of access means that all people have the information they need – regardless of age, education, ethnicity, language, income, physical limitations or geographic barriers. It means they are able to obtain information in a variety of formats – electronic, as well as print. It also means they are free to exercise their right to know without fear of censorship or reprisal.
In addition to these efforts supporting equity of access, ALA also actively prioritizes access to information.
The Evanston Public Library supports the American Library Association’s Library Bill of Rights.
